Drop plateau maps for Beyond All Reason
Plateaus with sheer drops. Expansions sit up on plateaus reached by a ramp or two.
Drop Plateau raises large flat plateaus above the ground with steep edges. Spawns and expansions sit on top; the ramps down are the only way an army leaves, and the only way one gets in.
A plateau is a natural fortress and the generator knows it, so the metal that matters is often on the low ground between them.
Made for: 8×8 to 32×32, up to 16 players. Every map is mirrored, so both sides get the same ground and the same metal.
!genmap 4v4 DROP_PLATEAU in a room.What to build on a drop plateau map
Ground
One or two ramps per plateau: hold them and nothing drives in. Bots still climb the easier edges.
Air and sea
Gunships over the plateau edge are the counter to a turtle. Transports lift armies over the drop.
Economy
Plateau metal is safe; low-ground metal is where the fights happen.
